About this listen

***The instant Sunday Times bestseller***

'An epic and heart rending struggle between gods and mortals, lovers and siblings . . . Stewart is a writer of genius and brilliance' Hannah Kaner

'Stewart's worlds are some of the most exceptionally inventive in modern fantasy. A must read!'
Shannon Chakraborty

TO FIND HER SISTER, SHE MUST GO TO WAR WITH A GOD

A divine war has shattered the world. Now the various human nations must pay a regular tribute of magical gems to the conquering god Kluehnn - or face his unholy wrath.

Such matters are of little concern to Hakara. All she cares about is finding her long-lost sister, Rasha. But when Hakara learns she can channel the magic in the gems, she falls in with a secretive band of rebels who promise they can help her find Rasha.

But only if Hakara joins their war against a god.

The Gods Below begins an epic new fantasy series from Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Stewart, where two sisters find themselves on opposite sides of a war against gods.

Praise for the series

'Impossible to resist - stunning, powerful, and hypnotic in equal measure. This is an absolute gem, one for the ages' Fanfiaddict

'The Gods Below is as breathtaking as its magic system promises. Expect old gods, altered beings, magic stones, fighting, romance, and rollicking good fun. Stewart's newest series cements her as a bright voice in the fantasy genre' L. R. Lam

'This awe-inspiring trilogy-starter is everything fans of high fantasy have been looking for. Its characters are compelling, its world is vivid, new, and visceral' Booklist (starred review)

This is the first book I’ve read by the author and I thoroughly enjoyed it . Set in a world where humanity made a bargain with a God to restore the world, the first book covers the main characters discovering things are very different to what is believed. It does suffer from too many main characters and I did lose track to who was who at times.

As for the narration, some strange choices were made when using multiple narrators and I felt it could have been done better.
